Schmitt Music Company’s mural of Ravel’s “Scarbo” from “Gaspard de la Nuit” on a wall of its downtown Minneapolis headquarters store has drawn attention since 1972. French pianist Desire N’Kaoua, who noted the wall on a visit, liked it so much that a photo is featured in the liner notes of his album, “Maurice Ravel: L’Ouevre Pour Piano Seul.”
